Abstract
The device of the invention is a device for issuing a ticket (1) from a tape reserve for a printing mechanism. Such device implements at least one pair of rolls (2, 3) motorized (4) for driving the ticket (1) towards an evacuation opening (5) of the mechanism. The implementation of motorized means (4) for driving the rolls (2, 3) is slaved to first control means (7) for issuing A′ the ticket (1) and second control means (8) for retracting B′ the ticket (1). Means (10) for inhibiting second control means (8) are slaved to means (11) for detecting the moment when the user is taking the ticket (1) in the retracting path B′, for authorizing reverse rotational impulse of the driving rolls (2, 3) in order to return the ticket (1) notwithstanding a prior control (8) for retracting the ticket (1).
